Accused Hair Salon Bandit Denied Bond

His pleas Friday were only in connection to cases that occurred in the jurisdiction of the Cook County Circuit Court in Skokie: Skokie, Morton Grove and Niles. Other charges will be handled in other jurisdictions, including Chicago and DuPage County.

Each charge of armed robbery is a Class X felony, according to the court.

Salon Owners, Customers Grateful for Arrest

Many salon owners and their customers said they were more relaxed after hearing that a man suspected of robbing several shops in the area had been arrested. Christian Farr reports. (Published Tuesday, Feb 5, 2013)

Logsdon was arrested last month just hours after a robbery at a Wicker Park salon in the 1200 block of Ashland. Police said a witness caught a license plate number, which led police to his arrest.

Authorities said he used a BB gun in most of the robberies, and stole between $100 and $800 in each incident.

Following a statement made by Logsdon that each robbery occurred due to an ongoing crack cocaine habit, Judge Garrit Howard approved a request made by his lawyer, Leslie Rogoff, for drug treatment during his incarceration.

Logsdon also stated he concentrated on salons because he knew there wouldn’t be many males present.
